Let’s talk about the route now…
Did you miss this popular route last year? Seize your chance on Tuesday to be delighted and dazzled. Egan riders! Get ready to tackle the 2025 Egan's 3 Body Problem route on Tuesday's hill climbing! This route will test your mettle for 32km of ups, downs, and enough elevation gain to make your legs question their life choices.
Inspired by the mind-boggling complexity of the 3 body problem, this route will have you feeling like you're navigating a cosmic dance of gravitational forces, with chaotic and stable areas challenging your cycling skills. Remember, just like those poor celestial bodies, hydration is key! Nobody wants to end up feeling like a dried-up yoga mat by the end of the ride.
For those who haven't indulged in the mind-bending saga of "The Three-Body Problem" series, do yourself a favor and check it out on Netflix or pick up the books. You'll thank us later for the cosmic inspiration!
In the spirit of intergalactic exploration (or at least neighborhood exploration), we challenge you to spice up your Strava profiles and IG post with themes inspired by the 3 body problem. Let's see who can come up with the most out-of-this-world script and profile picture! The winners will be featured on the Performance Report.
